This Safety Crash Mat can be placed on either side of your bed as a protective floor cushion to help stop injuries in the event you accidentally roll out of the bed. These products are often used in nursing homes or hospitals as an invaluable safety device. They are best suited for use with electric beds, where the height of the bed can be dropped to a very low setting. They are also really useful when bed safety rails are not available or suitable (that is, rails that can be fitted directly to the bed to help stop someone from falling out when asleep).
